Just watched it for the fist time. Your scoring is about the same as mine. The second round Lopez won no question. Lopez was just too much for Lomachenko in that fight. He was too big, too strong, too fast and too smart.Yup, all 3 judges had it 7-0, so did I at home. And after rewatching it last night on the replay, none of those 7 rounds were close, at all. 7 very easy rounds to score for Lopez.
People want to give Loma the 2nd, watch it again, Loma landed a nice straight left in the middle of the round and then a 3 punch combo in the last 10 seconds, that is all he landed the entire round! The other 2 minutes and 55 seconds was all Lopez walking him down, taking scoring with body shots and generally stalking a hapless Loma. Not a close round, Lopez won it.
8 and 9 were both rounds that could have gone either way. I initially scored the 8th for Lopez and 9th for Loma, on send viewing I'd reverse that. 10 and 11 were clear Loma rounds, but Lopez had his moments in each one too. The 12th was a brutal beat down by Lopez, wow! This adjusted card for me would make my card 117-111 and all rounds exactly the same as the judge that scored it 117-111.Comment

Someone should make a gif or short vid of all the times Lopez pushed Loma away. It's as illegal as a low blow. And no peep from judge.
Lopez won, but it was close and mostly due to Loma's inaction for too long.
In rds 8-11, at times when Loma went at him with flurries, Lopez looked scared and either held or pushed him off.
I think with a better strategy, Loma could win but only if there were honest 3 judges and ref.
Good luck with that in boxing.Comment

The only way to score round 2 for Loma is to not watch the round, and only watch the 2 highlights they showed in between the 2nd and 3rd round. The announcers and broadcast team clearly wanted Loma to win.
Even though Ward was correctly pointing out Lopez's dominance to the body and how he was using his jab to control the fight, he would then give a round to Loma where Loma did almost nothing.
This was a 116-112 to 118-110 fight. 115-113 is just as bad and maybe worse than 119-109.Comment
